Epson Moverio Glasses

Attaching tiny screens to glasses has been done before, and seeing as none of you are wearing any, we know how successful they were.

Epson’s Moverio BT-100 is trying to change that. The glasses, which look a bit like the enlarged sunglasses the elderly wear, have two micro-projectors in them that generate an image equivalent to watching an 80-inch screen from five meters away.

The controller that comes with the glasses supports microSDHC memory up to 32GB, so that should be enough content for most journeys. Alternatively, the shades can be connected to any device via Wi-Fi and stream content already in your libraries that way. It can also be connected to an Android device, allowing you to play games up close.

No word on the battery life on these things yet, but the addition of the Android platform to the device does make the Moverio sound promising. Expect to fork out $699 for a pair. Tempted?
